WhatsApp to offer spam warning – Report

Whatsapp on phone in hand

WhatsApp is set to roll out a spam warning feature, according to a report by Softpedia.

The report stated that WhatsApp is testing a method to deal with spam, but it faces a challenge – encryption.

WhatsApp’s messages are encrypted end-to-end, which means the company cannot see what a message contains.

For spam detection, the company will look at how many times a particular message has been sent and the users sending this message.

“Users will get a warning if they get what’s considered a spam message,” stated the report.
